Steem Cartoon: Pixel Art Weekly (Christmas Edition)

Hello,
Idk if I'm late or not.. Ahaaaha, ;v; (Welp, a proud artwork nonetheless)
This is my first time joining art contest in Steemit. Found pixel art contest host by Hive account@jonny-clearwater , and since I'm kinda OK(?) with creating pixel art, so here I go~
The pixel art is called (Hot Chocolate)

1. I started of searching for "Hot Chocolate" in Google to find ideas and inspiration
   
   (To be honest, I'm now craving for it after seeing the pictures >3<)

2. Then i sketch out the my ideas in photoshop
   
   My ideas was mainly just hit chocolate, but then from my previous post on my christmas drawing was kinda elf-ish look character. Which is why i drew an elf on the marshmallow which looks like its rowing on it.. Ahahaha I'm a sucker for cute stuff (つд⊂)ｴｰﾝ

3. I transfer the sketch into 100px100p with 72 resolution to convert it into pixel art.
   

4. After that i just colour according to what I wanted it to look like. It ended up like this
   

5. To make it more interesting, I simply animate it by making the elf on the marshmallow floating on the hot chocolate while holding a candy cane, add a bit of snow in the drawing annnddddd.. VIOLAAA~
   

6. In my opinion, i prefer the smaller version. Cause it's cuter XD
   

That's All~
ps: I legit on repeat hearing Sia's christmas song while making this, which explain the candy cane and snowman :)
Would like to wish Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday to everyone~

Bai bai~
